History

Eleftheriou Jewelry was established in 1971 in Athens, Greece. For more than four decades Eleftheriou Jewelry maintains a strong presence in the field of handmade fine jewelry. Kostas Eleftheriou, founder and creator, being inspired by the Greek art of the Byzantine period, won a place in the long history of Greek jewelry. With a page dedicated to his outstanding work in the special edition, “The Greek Jewels: 5000 Years of Tradition” published by the Greek Ministry of Culture, and with customers like Abba, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Princess Soraya and Omar Sharif, the Eleftheriou collections acquired an international reputation quite early.

Maria Eleftheriou

Kostas Eleftheriou’s daughter, Maria, a Mokume School graduate and prize-winner in many jewelry design competitions, showed an early passion for handmade jewelry. Following her father’s path, during the last decade, Maria managed to position Eleftheriou collections in a demanding and rapidly evolving global market, mainly due to her unparalleled attention to detail and constant awareness of contemporary design.
Following the tradition of using high quality materials and design, always focused on femininity, the collections are characterized by dynamic, clean and timeless forms. With constant references in Elle Magazine, Marie Claire Magazine and Vogue Magazine, Eleftheriou Jewelry Collections have gained a loyal and growing clientele both in Greece and abroad.
